I'm trying to figure out what brand/type hard drive for an old Fostex FD-8 is best, since the one in it is extinct. Is it important that I get one with the same RPM rating? What else would be important? Any suggestions? Thanks

I have a Rode NT1A, and an AT 4033. What would the optimal distance from the mic be, to do vocals. Vocalist style would be "average" to "soft." I would ASSUME the further away, the less need for compression. But obvioulsy, I want the best signal/noise ratio. Thoughts? Thanks.

Does the nt1-a require phantom? thanks.

Just kidding, kinda- For under $500, what's the best mic for vocals and acoustic guitar. Please don't ask me to go to archives. I love you too. PEACE

Since pre-amps provide a 1/4 inch, and a 3-pin connection out, is there ever a reason to use the 3-pin? I thought common knowledge says "use only the 1/4 inch out." titan

I read some archives, and got some good info. But, I'd like to try to get some specific thoughts. I'm short on gear, and I like to compress "to tape." I'm looking for a typical "warm, unobtrusive" bass tone. Specifically, how do some of you set your attack and release for this kind of bass? And...

I ordered an M-Audio dmp-3 today. I would love to have an RNC too. I have the BlueMax Smart compressor. I asked the sales guy if he thought it would be worth going without food for two weeks, to get a RNC. I was "pleased" that he didn't immediately try to sell me on the RNC. He said he had one...

Since the only pre-amp I have is a TUBE MP, I've been laying some drum overdubs with it. After about 2 hours, the darn thing quit giving me a signal. I assume I've blown the tube. Question: would the drums cause this? Thanks, titan

I set one to Master, run the midi cable "out" to the "in" of the slave machine. When I hit "play" on the master machine, the slave machine doesn't start. Any help out there? Titanship

I want to link to FD-8's together, or and FD-8 and an FD-4. Any advise/do's/dont's to offer? Thanks for any response. Titan

It's over fellas. The real world has taken over, the dream has ended- FOR NOW. Most of my 5 month old gear is on the block at EBAY. Alesis HD24 Lexicon MPX200 Samson Q5 Headphone Amp Boss GT6 Guitar Processor Search my user name kjmar3 to check it out. thanks, titan

I'm wanting to overdub snare on some tunes. I want to use (keep) the kick from the original drum machine patterns. Actually, I'll be overdubbing toms and cymbals too. I'll probably do snare/toms together, then come back with cymbals. I've tried this before and gave up because my timing sucked...

I know I'm missing a fundamental concept on this. But, for what applications would I want to use pre or post? Titan

Where's the best place to get them? Cost? thanks, titan peace

What instruments (vocals?) do you tend to record flat? And how many of these same ones would you leave alone (basically) on the final mix? I know that mics, boards, and other gear play a role in this whole deal- but lets just assume we are talking about basically "average to good" gear. titan...

I'm really showing my ignorance here, but I can't remember how to bring my effects in through the channel faders. Now, I'm using the effects return knobs. Do I come from the output of the effect to the channel input? If I want stereo, do I use 2 channels? As for bussing, do I need to asign...

The manual says Locate point 21 and 22 are the points to use. How the hell do you set them? Lost in Kentucky... titan, Peace

Who is your top choice, when buying new gear? In my mind, the most important factors are: 1) SERVICE 2) PRICE 3) KNOWLEDGEABLE STAFF (somebody's gotta be) 4) CANDY. titan, PEACE

I have a new Lexicon MX200. It has a VERY noticeable hum.?? It's my first Lexicon product. Is this customary for Lexicon effects? There's no way I can record within 10 feet of it. titan PEACE
